sounds like whatever the process is, it's always the same file hykqvs.tmp being flagged... no idea what that is...did you submit this tmp file to Virus Total?

Your screenshots show that the malware was sent to chest...!!
This could be the reason why Mbam an Spybot didn't find anything.
Anyways, you may want to run free a-squared to recheck, if you like.

Submit the hykqvs.tmp to virustotal.com and check.
